Detective Dick Blust, Jr. with the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office is investigating reports of suspicious activity relative to the Jim Bridger Power Plant east of Rock Springs, but the investigation has so far uncovered nothing definitive.

County detectives worked with federal authorities and air traffic control officials in Salt Lake City in checking the flights. All but a few have been confirmed as routine commercial flights, and those remaining continue to be investigated.

Authorities confirmed that while private security resources have been enhanced at the Jim Bridger Plant, it is not in lockdown, as has been reported.
